Most likely you know God & Famous because they produce some of the most popular cycling gear and clothing available, but what you may not know is they have been continuously coming out with some great original content. One of our favorites was this photo feature on photographer Connor McKenzie and his 'minty' Bianchi Super Pista.

Prolly Is Not The Radavist? April Fools, He Prolly Is.

Yesterday as most of the City Grounds crew does I turned on my computer, grabbed my cup of coffee and navigated to my daily blogs. On the top of the reading list has always been John 'Prolly' Watson and his website ProllyisNotProbably.com. However, instead of a somewhat friendly purple viking and a daily dose of bike porn, I was greeted with an alarmingly red page with nothing but an 'R' in a circle. Confused and curious I tried refreshing the page, even typing in the URL again in case I had misspelled something. Despite my valiant effort, nothing changed. So,...
